Ok. Some info:

1. The event is free.
2. There will be limited amount of games sold at a decent discounted rate (not the crap 5% discounted rate) for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Besides, I think you can win some games for free.
3. There is an age limit of 21 for guys and 18 for girls.
4. There will be some hot booth babes

5. For those underaged, there will be another event in the near future.
Probably at some shopping complex. However, there will probably not be any booth babes for this event

This is an oportunity for us to meet up with Ralph Fulton Chief Game Designer for Grid. And also you can meet the Malaysian unsung heroes who actually were involved in the development of GRID. Great opportunity for those who are interested in working in the industry or even knowing a little bit more about the industry in Malaysia. Finally some of the big shots from Codemasters UK will be attending. Let's show them that gaming is alive and kicking in Malaysia.

Remember, this is a AAA game (read the reviews), Codemaster's crown jewel not some lame budget game given to us to do towards the end cyle of a consoles life. With great power comes great responsibility and we, Malaysians, delivered.

"Berkhidmat untuk Negara"

3. There is an age limit of 21 for guys and 18 for girls. this is not very friendly for those below the age
cannot buy the game.. ESRB has rated the game "Everyone" but still the event only allows those 21 and above for males & 18 and above female to attcually access this event and purchase it

Codemasters KL does not handle the distribution of its games in Malaysia. They leave it to distributors like New Era or Atari in this region. I might be wrong, but i think they are just selling the game for just that one day.

Codemasters KL is purely a development studio for now (with an emphasis on doing the art bit), employing mostly malaysians.

iirc, they've been here since mid/late 2006.

hehe i thinkso doesnt sting the retailers... since its just 1 day sales.. anyway wanna know the pricing of the game

Well, they already said they will have another launch where everybody can attend. I don't foresee the age limit as a big deal. I believe there is a huge portion of gamers that are above the age limit.

my question why in the world do they have to do it at Zouk?

my guess is that the guests get hammered on alcohol and then play the game in a contest...first one who manages to cross the finishing line gets their choice between a 360 and a PS3..

I reckon their decision of doing it at Zouk is acceptable because even their event is open to everyone, it's still not advisable for underage to loiter around KL until 12 midnight unless with parent presence. Some developer from UK is coming also...so i guess Zouk is probably the best option for them to social. (You know their culture...pub<---->drink)

It's just a casual meet up with the developer, it shouldn't be hurting the local retail market. It's not like everyone gona rush there to buy the game

...speaking of the game, i think it will be out in UK tomorrow.
